SOLZM QUIS DIVER& FALSUM •UDEAT? L 0 N D 0 N, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1810. There is every reason to expeit that we shall ehrrrtly hea'r satisfactory intellikencd from. Ame rica. The : letters of the 30th of March state, that Mr. I‘.lAcc6r's Bill had 'been thrown orit of the Senate by a majority, of two, and that a Bill had been brotikht in for the repeal of the Non-Intercourse MI. This account is confirmed by the intelliigence're; cei i ved yesterday by . the Manchester packet, which, on her passage, fell in with 'the William . Tell, from . Norfolk, Virginia-,on the . 9th inst. The passengerrion board of which stated, that the Noti-Intercourse Act was to cease on the Monday after the . If illiam Tell-sailed t which was on the Bth ult. Of-course we cannot pledge ourselves fora the triult of iutelli nonce so received. - The Anieii - can Governmt.:ut has borneo much' from France, that it is. rather hazdrdo4 to speculate upon its future resistance ; but surely when the last outrages of BVONAPAtiTE are known in America, they must rouse the resentment even of those who have hitherto been most partial to k'ra,nce. In addition to the 'other, insults which IIooNA PARTE has heaped upon the - Americans, it is' re ported by the persons who arrived in a cartel on Monday last, that he leas ordered all Americans to quit Rance without delay, under p a in o f -imprison ment and confiscation orpfoperty. ... It is with sentiments of the strongest satisfaaion t hat - .ue Call ih: wtentiotrof our Readers to the de tail gi , en yesterday by the CHANCELLOR of the EXC:IEQUER f the state of the Finatues of the Country, Notwithstanding all the confident, asser tions of our foreign Enemy, and all the gloomy pre diaions of our domestic Patriots, the 'Trade of this E:npire, instead of decaying', is in a more flourish ing condition than it, ever was, even - in the most . prosperous years of peace; and such is the state of our Finances, that* the Interest of the Loan, the One per C, nt. for the Sinking Fund, and the Ex polo s of the Management, have all been provided for without the impoiit ton of a single new Tax, or the augmentation of any old one. The Loan has bey n obtained cpon 'terms m6rp favourable to the Public than, - any Loan that ever - w-is coutratied in this Country. Notwithstanding the,immense amount of the. National Debt, the Public have'obtained a Loan of Twelve Millions of Money cheaper, consi derably cheaper, than any individual in the Country could obtain one, even upon the best and most un doubted security. The Interest to be paid for this Loan amounts only to 41. 4s, 70. per cent. which is more than 1.55. less than the legal interest. But while we rejoice in this indisputable proof of our prospe rity, and of the-prind state of our Finances; let us not forget how much we owe to Mr. PITT, who, by his wisdom in planning, and his firmness in pre serving the Sinking Fund, certainly laid the founda tion of that solid system of Finance, which has enabled us to meet the unexampled burthens of the extraordinary times in which we live. This flou rishing state of our Track and of our Commerce will appear in a still more conspicuous point of view, if pu, in competition, with that of France. BuoNA VOITE, in the hopes..of destroying the Trade of this country, sacrifieed without remorse the little- re mains of trade which-France possessed, The Cus toms of France last year, according to the statement Of the French Minister, did not produce 500,00o1: which is not more , than one-fifth of what they pro clncal three years ago ; and during that very period wliert BuLtat,PAiere's Decrees and our Orders in.' Council 'deprived France of tour-fifths of her trade, that 'of Great Britain his g(ii.e on progressively in creasing. The Trade of France was, as we have already stated, worse last year than it ever wis be fore, while: that of Great Britain was greater last year than' it ever was, before, even in the most pros perous year of peace. In. 1805, when BUONAPART4 was at Ulm, he made use of the memorable expres sion, t6at . be wanted ships, colonies, and commerce. Since that period he has lost near forty sail of French line-of -bat tle-ships . --he has lost the Spanish Navy; he has lost the banish Navy, which undoubtedly would have been as much at his disposal as the Fleet of Holland; he has lost Martinique, Guada loupe ; in short,le has lost every Colony possessed by France or her allies, except the Mauritius ; and to, complete the whole, he has nearly annihilated the commerce of France and her unfort - unate al lies. Such has -been the result of BUONAPARTE'S efforts to obtain Ships, Colonies; and Com merce, and yet we are told by his admirers in this Country, that his plans are all formed with - wisdom, executed with vigour, and crowned with success.--- . . We once more Congratulate' the Country upon the statement made last night by the. CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, because it affords an additional prof that if this Country be but true to itself, if it be not weakened by intestine divisions, it may bid defiance to an hostile world. The KING came to town yesterday about twelve o'clock, from Windsor escorted by a _party of .light horse, and was received at the Queen's Palace by several - of the ROYAL DUKES. .

Institution took place at Freemasons'-hall. The Duke of SONIERiET tdok the - Chair; and was 'supported - by. Lord .CHESTER and Lord MotaA. L9lll POMFRET, Lord VALENTIA, and several other Noblemen and Gen tlemen were present. The usual loyal toasts were given, and received with the warmest approbation. " The Literary Fund," of course, was one of the most popular toasts.. After Lord MotaA's health • had been drank, that Nobleman arose and delivered a very animated speech in praie of Literature, and its influence in imf)roving the knowledge and happiness of mankind. His Lordship thin spoke with zeal in fovour of the Institution and its supporters. He paid smite very handsome com pliments to Mr. FITZGERALD, for his persever ing attachment to the Institution, and the poetical abilities which he had so often displayed, particu larly on the present occasion. Mr. 'FITZGERALD delivered some animated lines in support of the cause, with powerful effect ; and Mr. BitowNs also very, ably recited a composi tion of great merit, on the same subjea, written by the.Rev..Dr. Simmoics, a gentleman of well-known learning and talents. The:day .was enlivened by glees and songs by Meisrs. SHIELD, INCLEDON, TAYLOR, T. DIBDIN,, &c. &c. and the whole was the triumph of good humour, animated by benevol,nce, and every teeL ing can do honour to human nature. Though ►;o colle6tiorp was annonnced, yet the li beral zeal of many persons present induced ',hem to come forward, and some handsome donations were made on the spot. It was a subject of general report that Mr. DAVID WILLIAMS, the benevolent fouticlet of this admir able Institution, was prevented 'hum attending by severe indiquasition. This morning, about half-past eleven o'clock, an alarming tire broke out. at Mr. Topus's, upholsterer and cabinet-maker & in St. Paul's Churchyard, which raged with such fury that it threatened destrucion to the whole neighbourhood, but fortunately, by the timely arrival. of Several, eng'nes, and a copious supply of water, its ravages were prevented from doing any other damage trial-) totally destroying the the whole of the premises where it first b;.pn, NAVAL NEWS - PLYMOUTH, Mir 15.--Arrive 1 his najesty's ship Amide from off Rocitef2rt.

A cause aconsiderable importance, with regard to the obervance of the Sabbath, and the authority of magistrate's, was , deternained, by the'Court of Ses- sion, in the month of December last. A difference having arisen among th e subscribers to 'the coffee-room, Or public news-room, in the to wn of Arbroath, concerning the shuttinglifthe room during divine service on Sabbath, the magistrates, and a num': ber of the subscribers, found it necessary-to apply to. the Lords of Council and Session, by bill of suspen sion, praying for an interdict against all_persons whomsoever, from keeping thecoffee-room outl, or meeting therein on Sabbath, during the time of public worship in. the church or churches of the burgh a nd parish of Arbroath. The application was made to Lord tiermand, Ordinary, who, on the 14. th June last, granted interdiet, to - the effeet, that the coil fee-room shall be regularly shnt every Sunday.do ing divine service. The bill of suspension came to be advised by -Lord Glenlee, 'upon answers and replies, when his Lordship passed the bill, and continued the interdict, so tar as gl'anted on the appli- Cation of't he magistrates. The case came aTterwdrds to be discussed before Lord He - rmand„. when his Lordship pronounced the following judgment : " The; Lord Ordinary having heard th . r.!
